Hail to the bigots? As South Carolina mourns, a controversial Professor at the University of Michigan is under fire for disgusting, bigoted comments implicating members of the Jewish faith as responsible for the Charleston shooting by Dylan Roof that left 9 dead and the country shaken.

Juan Cole, a professor with a long history of Anti-Jewish rhetoric, wrote just days after the shooting that:

"It was apparently similar writings and web sites that made Roof “completely racially aware.” Unhinged millionaires and bigoted gadflies have a network
funded by tens of millions of dollars. It is aimed at disenfranchising
Muslim Europeans and Muslim-Americans and putting them under social
pressure.

Ironically, some groups connected to the Islamophic Network
are, like Geller and Pipes, Jewish. But their anti-immigrant,
anti-Arab and anti-Muslim rhetoric backfired on them in Roof’s case,
since he went on heartily to hate Jews, as well. Many American Jews, he
held, are pro-African-American, and so he abhorred them, as well.

That
far right wing Jews would be trying to teach white people to hate
non-Christians boggles the mind, since nothing could be more injurious
to the American and European Jewish communities.

But the biggest
irony is that their agitation against European Muslims should have
helped inspire Roof in South Carolina to kill 9 African-Americans."

Blame the Jews, jeez! Next, it will be "the gays" fault or the AMERICAN flag will be blamed...It's always the fault of someone else, isn't it? Never the shooter...

Cole is a well known Professor according to his Wikipedia page, and was accused of being a "Muslim apologist" by Atheist activist Christopher Hitchens.

The University of Michigan should denounce this type of extreme and hateful rhetoric, and Cole should apologize. Don't expect too much from "The People's Republic of Ann Arbor," but even this should be too extreme for liberal elites in one of Michigan's most vibrant areas. Jewish students, like all others, should be part of a welcoming campus environment, and Cole's actions raise severe concerns.

“The Muslim-hatred of the Geert Wilders and Marine LePens in Europe,
for which Daniel Pipes, and Pamela Geller, and the whole Islamophobic
network are cheerleaders and enablers, was a key influence on Dylann
Roof, according to his manifesto,” Cole ...

The University of Michigan's Juan Cole
has a rather interesting take on Dylann Roof's murders of nine people
in Charleston, South Carolina. He says Roof's “manifesto” shows that the
“same hatemongers helped whip Norwegian white supremacist and ...
